Gov. Walker says final decision could come this week

Menominee chairman Craig Corn said approval of a casino in Kenosha will help pull his tribe out of poverty.

Corn and members of the tribe gathered at the state Capitol on Tuesday to continue their call on Gov. Scott Walker to approve the off-reservation casino. Opponents of the casino were holding their own event later Tuesday.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK, IT IS ALL ON WISN.COM. IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT JOBS, IT IS ABOUT SURVIVAL. MIKE ANDERSON WAS THERE IN MADISON TODAY AS THEY DELIVERED THEIR MESSAGE TO THE GOVERNOR. THE DRIVE BROUGHT THE EMOTIONS OF TO FIFTH-GRADE STUDENTS TO THE TABLE TO HELP DRIVE HOME THEIR EFFORT TO PUSH GOVERNOR WALKER INTO SAYING YES TO A NEW CASINO. THE CASINO WOULD HELP HER AND HER CLASSMATES GET A MUCH-NEEDED NEW SCHOOL. THE SCHOOL WE GO TO IS IN A BUILDING THAT IS 100 YEARS OLD. THEIR TEACHERS TO THE BEST THEY CAN. THEIR ELDERS PLEAD WITH THE GOVERNOR TO HEAR THEIR VOICE. THE KENOSHA CASINO WOULD MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. WE HAVE STRUGGLED WITH POVERTY, HEALTH CARE ISSUES, AND WITH A HOST OF OTHER PROBLEMS. ASSEMBLY SPEAKER HAD BEEN NONCOMMITTAL, WHAT IS NOW FIRMLY IN SUPPORT. THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF JOBS, I HAVE TO SUPPORT. FRED KESSLER IS STRONGLY OPPOSED. MILWAUKEE STANDS TO LOSE A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF JOBS. THEY CONTINUE TO STATE THEIR CASE AND WAIT FOR THE GOVERNOR TO MAKE UP HIS MIND. THE GOVERNOR TOLD US HE WILL NOT RUSH TO A DECISION. THE ADS, THE MEDIA CAMPAIGNS, THE RALLIES ARE NOT AS IMPORTANT
